and barbering, including but not limited to shaving or trimming the beard
or cutting the hair; and to fulfill all other duties and responsibilities
delegated by chapter 328, RSMo, as it pertains to barbers and this
chapter as it pertains to cosmetologists. The duties and responsibilities
of the board of cosmetology and barber examiners as such duties and

senate to serve four-year terms. The governor shall appoint members to
fill any vacancies, whether it occurs by the expiration of a term or
otherwise; provided, however, that any board member shall serve until his
or her successor is appointed and duly qualified. No person shall be
eligible for reappointment that has served as a member of the board for a
total of twelve years.

4. At the time of appointment, the public members shall be citizens of
the United States, residents of this state for a period of at least one

carry out the duties of the state board of cosmetology.

The board shall be the successor in every way to the powers, duties, and
functions of the state board of cosmetology.

3. Every act performed in the exercise of such powers, duties, and
authorities by or under the authority of the board shall be deemed to
have the same force and effect as if performed by the state board of
cosmetology under this chapter, including any amendments thereto
effective with the passage of this law or prior to August 28, 2005.

4. All rules and regulations of the state board of cosmetology and any
amendments thereto shall continue to be effective and shall be deemed to

with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536, RSMo, and,
if applicable, section 536.028, RSMo. This section and chapter 536, RSMo,
are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general
assembly under chapter 536, RSMo, to review, to delay the effective date
or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional,
then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted
after August 28, 2001, shall be invalid and void. (L. 2005 S.B. 280)

and expenses for the operation of the board shall be appropriated and
paid from such fund.

2. The provisions of section 33.080, RSMo, to the contrary
notwithstanding, money in this fund shall not be transferred and placed

of the biennium exceeds two times the amount of the appropriation from
the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year or, if the board requires

appropriation from the board's funds for the preceding fiscal year. The
amount, if any, in the fund which shall lapse is that amount in the fund
which exceeds the appropriate multiple of the appropriations from the
